B&K comparison

The SE-100 is better than the BK pro 5, is cheap but very good
The Iris and the 915 have the same topology, but the Iris has the tendency to fail do to the Tantalum caps
The B&K Pro 10 and Sonata have better build quality, but the Iris and 915 sound better
Yes I do have all those preamps
 
I also have the Adcom 565 and is not as bad as the review, sounds really good too
The Citation 21 has a better line stage than any of all the preamp mentioned in the review
 
Which of them do you think has the best drive in the bass and rhytm abilities? What the brits call PRAT?

I thought the PT3 was equal to the other B&K preamps in a modern wrapping.

the DH-200 and 220 are around same power as your BK, unless you go for a DH-500.
 
Still good preamp, the DH-100 is very basic and still good, I had one and sold it.

Upgrading a Hafler DH-100

I bought this DH100 to digitize my LPs. I needed a phono stage and the ability to control the output to my Analog-to-digital converter. It worked for a while but I wasn’t happy with the sound. I looked into the DH100 and discovered it was a series 1. And there was a series 2. Could this be the...

Upgrading a Hafler DH110

The DH-110 replaced Hafler’s first preamp, the DH-101, and was produced from the early 1980’s to the early 1990’s. I picked up this unit and decided to look inside and upgrade it. This unit has everything. A headphone amp that’s not very loud. A muting circuit to prevent downstream thumps that...

I will take the DH-110 over the B&K PT3
 
But isn't the output soldered directly to a board like the early PRO5 with the golden handles?

I don't know about the PRO10.
The red and green faceplate with black handles were different right?

I mean both the DH100 and 110 have the same output layout as the early B&K?

They are a little prone to fail in my opinion.
